I am a testament of what you just stated. I have been without a cell phone for over 3-years. There isn't really any occasion in that time that couldn't wait until I go home to take care of something. I feel so much more free being without it. My stress level has gone way down. Yes, you can say that cell phones are a stressor. No one bothers me when I am out. No one knows where I am when I am traveling. And this is actually liberating. No spam. And I noticed my life has slowed down as a result. When I am out in town, I am no longer reminded of all the lies and doom and gloom that's reported. A slave is a kept individual. A free man is able to travel unbeknownst to anyone but himself. I like melting anonymously into every place I go.

ignorance truly can be a bliss and anonimity is its own reward
